South London Beers: Reboot - Last Thursday of the Month at The Prince Regent, Herne Hill, SE24

Also in conversation with Curly Ollie, there seems to be a dearth of long rides in the upcoming weeks/months, lets start the ball rolling shall we. Andyp what happened to the southern discomfort route you were gonna post up?

The one you volunteered me for? ;-)

I've not had time to put a route together. I doubt I'll have time before the Bank Holiday weekend to be honest.

the sooner the better andy, I don't know the hills dahn souf, so I'm leaving it in your capable hands.
Whenever you can post it up would be good..

Owen was talking about an M25 ride - not on it obv, but staying as near the route as possible.

That should be long enough - 117 miles according to wiki - plus all the shagging about.

and for that reason - I'm out.

... plus all the shagging about...

Those suburban girls are desperate huh ...

South's by the Sea!
I have visions of Quadrophenia type mayhem. I'm in!

Lets do south beers on the south coast....

there is a four day beer festival at this pub in august: http://www.bankesarms.com/
how about a ride down there? you can then get hammered on real ales & 13% cider and camp on the beach! it's in dorset, right in the purbecks. lovely!

Depends when it is, as am abroad for a lot of August, but potentially up for it, might even be able to get MOC to drive down (if there is the promise of real ale) - support vehicle style!

I enjoyed JimBilly's climbing story. As gripping as Joe Simpson's "Touching the Void".

did he show you his war wounds? heh. i'd forgotten how intimidating it can be climbing in portland. particularly when you've never even been in a harness before! a stirling effort from jimbilly, i must say!

yeah jim's climbing has obviously made a big impression on him, he was all fired up telling me about it. Makes doing massive skids past the pub sound easy...

blap.

first time down souths and what a splendid time!

corny - thanks for leading the way on the ride down, jeez that wind was cruel! and for general loveliness and chips xx
Markyboy, Dropout, Emile, Katt - always a pleasure to have a good old natter
Jonny, Joe, Festus, Skully - lovely to see you all again...festus - thanks for the props on the bike! it's creaky and in need of tlc but i do love it.

next time i'm ordering a burger...

Beer? Festival? Ride? Ale? Cider? Camp? Beach?

Nah, it won't take off. Not enough keywords to really trigger interest from any forum members.

laurent, nice to meet you and thanks for buddying up (sorry if i was a little scary and forward - it'd been a long time since my last burger.)

hoops cheers for the magazine. and teens, my director gave me his copy of footprint today. although i went to the pub so haven't read it yet...

everyone else, lovely to see you. lovely lovely.

Posted on SE forum about coming to drinks next week, but free on Monday not Tuesday. I am doing a student radio piece on fixed wheel in London. But the only cycling I do is round Dulwich park on a mountain bike, but I spent some time living in Bristol with some bike enthusiasts and thought it would make a good radio piece. If I turn up in Clapham bout half eight, will anyone be up for answering some very basic questions? Pretty please....

only if you buy us beer

MANY beers!!

more than welcome pesska,
I'm sure there will be people to answer questions.
But just come down an enjoy the atmosphere, bright times...

MANY beers!!

Er? Have you gone off the cider?

I for some reason always say beer when I of course mean cider. I think it stem's from when I started drinking, I drank beer instead of cider.

It's a bit like me saying 'let's go for a cup of coffee', when I actually don't drink coffee, only tea. :)

Or me saying "Come up and have a look at my etchings" when I only do water colors.

the evening usually ends in a punch up with a lot of screaming and shouting about 'you scratched my nag' or 'you slept with my langster'; you should stick around for that.

Or a bit like me saying 'how do you like my fixed bike' when I only have geared freewheel bikes.

Or like me saying 'come and have a look at my stamp collection', when I only have a beer mat collection.
